And after all this, maybe it was never McLeish's fault...maybe we're just a rubbish team!!

Left back and attacking options please.

I can't believe anyone really thinks this squad is strong enough, it's nothing like it.

Two weeks to get new bodies in, though. Hopefully he'll manage to sort it.


Couple of loans and a couple of signings. Someone like that kid from Rennes for a million or so to at least give us options. I would alos be sorely tempted, playing like this, to offer the 5 million Liverpool want for Charlie Adam.

That was actually a bit better, Delph running at them from midfield.

According to the BBC we are now 2-0 now Peter Odemwingie with the goal..................
I saw that, they quite often mess our scores up.

If Delph is ever considered a top Premier League footballer I'll eat my laptop.

Not wanting to jump to any conclusions.....

We are fielding 4 new players today, we are still using a fair few of the same players who under performed last season, and we have not spent any money in real terms....

But we definitely need a few more decent signings before the end of the window.... and we need the chance for the new signings to settle...

Would be nice to get something out of this today though.

Delph showing what i've always thought, that he looks a lot better when allowed to get forward.

Twenty minutes to go. We're surely good enough to grab a goal, but we're also ragged enough to let another one in. Hmm....

I wonder if playing Delph deep like today means missing out on some of the more explosive side of his game? That run forward a few minutes ago was just what we need.

Is it wrong to be pleased at Albion winning 2-0?

Not against Liverpool, perked me up too.

I really like Nathan Dyer, and he has 2 today....I would rather stay at Swansea myself though!
